    I believe the modern era is after WW2. So why should only boxers from before that be considered?

    Sir, I'll have you know the Modern Era began the instant I lost interest in the contemporary game.

    So from the time you lost interest in contemporary boxing, boxers should be disqualified from appearing on BoxRec's list?

    I'm intrigued, and would like to have a serious exchange of views - but you're obviously not interested in that.

    Drop Mayweather. Hopkins and Conn, Archie Moore #2 over Ray Robinson?

    I think I like it better than the old one, but I think Ali should be on it, and there are definitely fighters who shouldn’t be on a list top 10 list.

    overall let’s be real even if it’s kinda fun it’s a garbage list

    hopefully Burley will get more attention with the ranking, he was a great fighter.

    Hopkins was a great fighter but Im still trying to figure out which fighter(s) he beat which warrants no6 all time. Insane. No way Conn belongs there either.
